▎ EDIT (4 May): Amazon terminated my KDP account on Saturday. Book is now at https://payhip.com/b/VpTj3 — see [this post](link to your new update) for the story. I shipped a 305-page book this week. "Rewiring Corporate Finance", a blueprint for what the finance function becomes when AI moves from pilot to load-bearing. 12 chapters, 9 custom diagrams, EU AI Act compliance map and a 12-month execution plan for CFOs When I say I used Claude, people assume it wrote the book. It didn’t. I have over 15 years inside finance at Philips and Vodafone.The seat and the judgment are mine. What Claude actually did was this: 1. Pressure-tested the thinking: Every chapter had a thesis. I made Claude argue against it before I wrote.Some ideas held. Others didn’t. 2. Cut the corporate voice: Anything that sounded like a consulting deck got flagged.The writing is tighter because of that. 3. Handled the messy production layer: Cover math. Spine width. EPUB. KDP formatting. Claude wrote the Python to turn the draft into something uploadable.That’s where most people get stuck. 4. Turned ideas into diagrams : I described the systems. It generated clean visuals I could actually use. What it didn’t do: The experience.The opinions.The calls on what goes agent-first vs stays human. If you’ve ever thought about writing a book: This is way more doable now than it was even a year ago. If you want, I can break down exactly how I went from idea to published. Just DM me. And if you’re building AI skills on top of your current finance role: Comment on this post and I’ll send you the PDF of Chapter 9. It covers: - the four literacies (finance, data, AI, programming) - the hybrid finance-developer profile - why the junior pipeline is going to change

Just recently switched over to using Claude (as everyone had been saying it) from ChatGPT, and really trying to get ahead to learn what Claude can do! :)))

We just hit 50 members. so I made something for all of you😄. A one-page Claude cheat sheet covering models, pricing, prompting patterns, Claude Code commands, and API basics. Stuff I reference daily. --> PDF attached, keep it handy and share it with anyone who uses Claude. Things change fast with Claude so I'll keep this updated overtime. If you spot anything off or want a deeper one on a specific topic (Claude Code, API, prompting), let me know in the comments.
